  • 1 tablespoon Tuscan heat spice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon chicken stock concentrate
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium zucchinis (or yellow squash)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1 cup Israeli couscous or quinoa
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, and Tuscan spice. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken cutlets until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sour cream, chicken stock concentrate, and lemon juice; stir until smooth. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5–7 minutes.
